Lesson learned

When James Dyson invented the Ballbarrow he assigned the patent to the company, Kirk-Dyson, and not in his own name. Big mistake. After leaving the company, he had no rights to the invention he had laboured over and they sold his invention to another company. But all was not lost. He learnt some valuable lessons for the future – creativity is a rare commodity and the importance of protecting an idea.
